Sadly we lost my favorite musical artist Jimmy Buffett yesterday. May he rest in peace with a salt shaker in one hand and a margarita in the other.
A hard working performer and great business man.
He definitely will be missed

Seems like he led a good life.. and hopefully he is eating his cheeseburger in paradise.
 
My last Margaritaville stop in Cozumel.

One of my favorites too. His tunes were played on our boat a lot. I last saw him perform at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach in 1988. He had just blown out a flip flop, stepped on a pop top and cut his heel, just before he cruised on back home. The man had some nice boats. This came across my youtube news feed last week.

His music will always be with us.

Really sad news, been fortunate enough to see him 10 times or so - his music has been around my entire life. Was hoping to see him one last time, but with his last few tour attempts being cut short, I had a feeling it was coming.

Seen he in Massachusetts a few times years ago. Always a great time!
